I'm waiting for the person who insists they can't pick 5 and will list 15+ to show off their movie knowledge

Look up 2 posts above yours 😉

Infernal Affairs, Memento and Shawshank are all good choices 🙂 . They and The Usual Suspects would be in my top 50.

Come now, you can do better than battlestar galatica. How about Manos: The Hands of Fate?
 
Ghost in the Shell
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Jules and Jim
Star Wars: Episode V
Adaptation (I don't know why, but I loved this movie)

edit: don't mean to threadjack but if someone happens to know of a good film board that may be able to identify some movies (foreign language) I only remember scenes of, please PM me.

Honerable mention: Dude, Where's My Car?
 
No mention of Boondock Saints? You are all a disgrace.

Boondock Saints is 1, probably 10-15 fall in right behind that including many of the ones named already.
 
casablanca
/Band of Brothers Series
Field of Dreams
12 Angry Men
Monty Python Quest for the Holy Grail
 
Oh man, I don't know if I can order them, so I'll just list them:

- The Lion King
- Amadeus
- Shawshank Redemption
- Oceans Eleven
- Shrek
 
Really, it would take me too long to process my favorite movies and come up with a top 5, but the two that unquestionably would be in it are:

1. Serenity
2. Hackers

I would also have to consider Dragonslayer, Conan The Barbarian, Patriot Games, Cars, Bad Boys, Rio Bravo.
